With No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan ready to face each other this weekend in one of the season’s biggest collegiate football games, the insanity is starting to rise.

Right in the middle of it is Jim Harbaugh. Not that we would expect any less from Harbaugh, the former 49ers coach who is taking the one-beaten Wolverines to their biggest game of the season to date.

And the questions from the media are getting crazier.

The Detroit Free Press reported this exchange, starting with a question from a Columbus, Ohio columnist. Columbus is hosting the game.

“You’re going to a place where they don’t know what to make of you,” the questioner asked. “Some say you’re crazy like a fox, some say you’re just crazy. But they all say you’re progressive. Can you describe who you are to Ohioans?”

Harbaugh countered:

“I’m not crazy,” he said. “I wouldn’t describe myself as that. I don’t know my personality, how relevant that will be in the game this week. Probably irrelevant.”
